Quotes to ponder:
“Identify the traits that define your vision of ‘remarkable.’ That could mean spending a lot of time with your family, having the flexibility to pursue other hobbies, or something of that nature.”
“Life’s best opportunities tend to hide in plain sight.”
"When in doubt, hedge your bets and go for the bargain!"
